Aileas

Hi,
I was wondering how exactly Aileas is proounced? Is it Al-us or Al-is or I-lish as some Irish pronunciations would have you say it. I know it's the Scottish version of Alice.
Any help would be great

Try Ay lish and you'll be close....

Look at it like Ai equates to the Greek æ and leas can be pronounced as lish or lesh, depending on your accent.
